I think Snyder know this would happen, especially since tomorrow and thursday gonna filming and the statue gonna be on sight. I don't think the statue was for this purpose, it's too obvious. I think is gonna be smth created by Lex or from the people of metropolis since they saw all the acts between MOS and BvS if there's a 1-2 years time period between the movies.

In some ways the statue is not flattering. Makes me think Luthor may have built it. The finger pointing out is a bit too in your face which is why I think something may be placed in the hand. Though it would be more curled up wouldn't it? Like I said it could be a subtle diss at Superman created by Lex.

The link doesn't work.
I wonder why they jut didn't do a CGI statue? I hope it is donated after the film to a place where it can be displayed to the public.

Watch the Man of Steel Making-Of Documentary on the blu-ray. Zack's rule of thumb is that if the characters interact with something in the movie, it will not be CGI. And to me, the statue looks like it's in pieces. So you can assume that It'll be destroyed or knocked down. Zack used the same method with the oil rig scene. Henry held up the piece of debris in front of a giant CGI screen on set location.

So maybe more pictures later this week?

I hope some photos leak since some important filming will take place on June 11 and 12.

Thanks for the information. I have not gotten around to watching the Special Features on MoS or any of the Blu-Rays I own (too busy!) It was fascinating learning more about Snyder's methodology.

Could be. Maybe done on purpose?

Two things:

Superman fans have been concerned about the lack of Superman stuff and this statue at least for now has gotten many Supes fans to lower their concerns.

This has pushed the script rumors to Superman will be killed off in BvsS. So it may well be dissembling. Snyder is good at this. They could have totally hid the statue with a very large tarp.

The statue is too obvious as you say - a large majority of sites reporting on it now assume the film will be the DOS s/l.

I'm speculating and the argument that killing off Supes and bringing him back in JL 2 allows JL 1 to focus on the other JL members and cost less (really?) is out there. Don't buy it but that is my opinion.

Superman and Batman needs to be in the first JL IMO. Even Wonder Woman is a must. I think it could be better if we stablish them first and then when they "lost" Superman, the feeling would have more impact by far. And the interaction and each members feeling would make priceless scenes.
Again IMO the statue is not for remembering Superman or if they do BvS-JL-JL2 connected then I could see the statue at the end of JL1 but I think the most possible scenario is on gratitude of Superman acts or a Lex plan if you ask me.

I keep thinking this could be the most accurate, for the way the hand is on the statue. could be holding earth or a car, or piece of concrete simulating a house.

ITA.

All this talk of BvsS, Jl, Jl2. They may be connected for sure. SDCC I can't wait for. Its not just that BvsS leads to JL, some rumors have JL1/JL2 being connected.

BvsS, Jl1 or JL2 - I am waiting for MOS2. But that is me. Shared universe is cool but .......
